Harry Potter Comments:

It was better transitioned from the book to movie format. Twilight had missed a few key elements.



On Nov 10 at 12:12, Penn Lake Library wrote:
It is so cool and fun to watch!



On Nov 10 at 12:55, Penn Lake Library wrote:
It is the best book ever!*



On Nov 10 at 12:20, Penn Lake Library wrote:
There's more books in this series, because it was actually leading up to something. Ron is the love of my life!



On Nov 10 at 12:28, Penn Lake Library wrote:
Better movies -- I love HP!



On Nov 10 at 12:05, Penn Lake Library wrote:
Sirius Black got owned by drapery. That's hot!



On Nov 10 at 12:28, Penn Lake Library wrote:
It has such a better and more exciting story! I love HP!!



On Nov 10 at 12:31, Penn Lake Library wrote:
It's so much more interesting. I Love Harry Potter!



On Nov 10 at 11:23, Penn Lake Library wrote:
Hello - they're magical! I like both.

I like both!

HARRY POTTER IS WAAAY BETTER! Deeper meaning, better written, complex, is more that just romance, characters are able to fight for themselves, unlike damsel-in-distress Bella!



On Nov 10 at 11:35, Penn Lake Library wrote:
Characters actually have depth and meaning. Story is unique and more realistic, plot is more complex -- it's better!



On Nov 10 at 11:47, Penn Lake Library wrote:
Wands and spells -- who doesn't like that!



On Nov 10 at 11:48, Penn Lake Library wrote:
Harry Potter is a beast!



On Nov 10 at 11:38, Penn Lake Library wrote:
It is better written



On Nov 10 at 11:09, Penn Lake Library wrote:
It is action packed, full of excitement, fantasy galore, is a magical series.



On Nov 10 at 11:24, Penn Lake Library wrote:
Had much more adventure and fantasy. I also wasn't made fun of for liking it, unlike Twilight.



On Nov 10 at 11:49, Penn Lake Library wrote:
It's more imaginative, funny, deeper meaning. I love HP!

J.K. Rowling is a much better author then SMeyer -- for example, it uses a much broader vocabulery (in contrast to Twilight's one or two big words used over and over to try and sound impressive) and all of HP's verbs don't end in -ly.

Also, the characters are my more developed in HP -- looking at the comments on the Twilight side, everyone seems to like Edward only because he's 'hot.' I'm sorry, but that's not characters developement. And Bella is there only to be so bland and unassuming that readers can easily put theirselves in her place.



On Oct 26 at 8:05, Westonka Library wrote:
It is more adventurous and has a better storyline. Plus, Harry Potter has better villains! Snape! Voldemort!



On Oct 24 at 4:42, alice wrote:
I don't understand why there is a debate for these two series. I could go into a full rant about them, but I feel that it's a waste of time. 'Cuz we all know which one's gonna last longer :)



On Oct 24 at 4:06, Tali wrote:
Because the writing is way better. It manages to get readers attention without centering on sex. And has anyone else noticed the fact that most of the comments on the twilight side are just stupid? "It just is" is not a reason for something to be better.



On Oct 24 at 9:06, Eden Prairie Library wrote:
Twilight=bad idea for a real relationship



On Oct 24 at 9:04, Eden Prairie Library wrote:
Better written. Also, seems more real.



On Oct 24 at 9:11, Eden Prairie Library wrote:
It's easy to imagine



On Oct 22 at 11:45, Ridgedale wrote:
Because it's way better and more adventure. Duh!



On Oct 22 at 11:11, Ridgedale wrote:
It will be a classic and Twi-dork will not!!



On Oct 22 at 11:45, Ridgedale wrote:
Anyone can read it. And it doesn't revolve around love. It includes magic and adventure and it can brighten your day = )



On Oct 22 at 11:43, Ridgedale wrote:
It actually has *human* emotions that don't always center around lust.



On Oct 22 at 11:57, Ridgedale wrote:
It is written better, it mostly has smart people, not creepers watching your every move. Death eaters are not the same as creepers watching you.



On Oct 22 at 11:07, Ridgedale wrote:
Bella= stupid, flat, bland. Edward= abusive, controlling.



On Oct 22 at 11:18, Ridgedale wrote:
It doesn't take something cool like vampires and make them into a CHICK BOOK!



On Oct 22 at 11:36, Ridgedale wrote:
It was written far better than the Twilight series. The characters are unique and the stories are creative. The main story of Twilight has bee written a thousand times.



On Oct 22 at 11:38, Ridgedale wrote:
Characters are more developed and grow with each book. Plot line is more singular and can be followed better.



On Oct 22 at 11:43, Ridgedale wrote:
It doesn't have vampires that "sparkle."



On Oct 21 at 3:53, Southdale wrote:
It has awesome spells! Who cares about bloodsucking vampires!



On Oct 21 at 3:00, Southdale wrote:
There is so much more detail.



On Oct 20 at 10:34, Westonka Library wrote:
Ron is funny!



On Oct 19 at 11:17, Oxboro Library wrote:
Harry is cute! Potter rules because he is cute and AWESOME! Go Potter!



On Oct 19 at 11:16, Oxboro Library wrote:
Magic is cool! I love magic!



On Oct 19 at 11:54, Oxboro Library wrote:
Everyone loves Ron!



On Oct 19 at 11:16, Oxboro Library wrote:
Because Twilight is lame. Harry Potter is better in every aspect. It's no competition.



On Oct 19 at 11:38, Oxboro Library wrote:
Ginny is gorgeous!



On Oct 19 at 11:02, Oxboro Library wrote:
HP Rocks!



On Oct 19 at 11:21, Oxboro Library wrote:
It's a great comedy.



On Oct 19 at 11:01, Oxboro Library wrote:
Harry's my boy! ....Who really likes sparkling vampires?



On Oct 19 at 11:21, Oxboro Library wrote:
Quidditch.



On Oct 17 at 6:41, Haronione wrote:
I have a great idea. Someoone should propose a Harry Potter club within the HCLib System that would be awesome! Whose with me?



On Oct 17 at 6:01, HP4ever wrote:
I don't know much about Twilight, all I know is I love teh Harry Potter series. Twilight may be unforgettable for its fans (and I have nothing against that), but Harry Potter is NOT junk and will also never be forgotten by its fans. LONG LIVE HARRY POTTER.

wow, you like twilight more because of its happy ending??? *rolls eyes* i mean life isnt all about happy endings. thats why harry potter is better. because jk rowling wasnt afraid to tell it like it is. people die. im not saying jk rowling didnt care that fans would likely be hurt having to read about their fav character dying but she knew it was the right thing to do. it was the right thing to do as an author. stephenie meyer got caught up in what she thought the fans wanted. and in the end that made breaking dawn the lamest thing in the world. it was no longer her vision. but the vision the fans wanted. and all that the fans wanted was some cinderella story and a "and then they lived happily ever after" skipping in daisys and laughing about how good life is. well sometimes life sucks. sometimes people die. sometimes they go to war. sometimes bad guys win. sometimes you have to give up on dreams. but ill tell you that ALWAYS, i mean ALWAYS, harry potter will be the best.



On Oct 8 at 4:10, Ashley wrote:
Harry Potter all the way. People keep forgeting vampires are not loving, caring, fall in love with humans type f creatures. They are cold, heartless, bloodsucking monsters. Humans are their food. when it comes to vampires there is no such thing as a vegitarian. They suck the blood out of humans plain and simple, not fall in love with them



On Oct 5 at 6:41, harry potter's girl through and through wrote:
i never thought we would have to actually set the record straight, on which is better: twilight or harry potter. obviously harry potter takes the cake and everything else. twilights just that fluff filled book you pick up when your bored. harry potter is an action packed epic adventure that you pick up when you actually feel like doing something worthy of your time. and believe me, its worthy.

Vampires are supposed to EAT people, not fall in love with them....

How can you even compare them? Twilight is fun trash, but HP is truly special and unforgettable.

Better plot, makes more sense, more realistic. Amazing overall



On Nov 10 at 11:13, Penn Lake Library wrote:
This is the cutest most amazing thrilling love story of all time. It's twisted but still evryone wishes it would happen to them!

Edward has the coolest hair in the world! And vampires are cooler than wizards.

harry potter is overdone and depressing while in twilight, some people die but the ending is still happy. the love triangle makes it all the more intresting, and VAMPIRES AND WEREWOLVES CAN EAT WITCHES AND WIZARDS ANY DAY!!!!!!!!
